addtocontentsline at beginning of toc?

Post by moinmoin »

Greetings,

as indicated in the subject: how to insert a section / chapter before the auto-generated toc? adding at the end works, but I can't find an option to put it at the beginning. The section in question is a glossary which I would like to have at the beginning instead of at the end.

The nomencl package has an option to do it (option 'intoc'), but I prefer the package acronym which - sadly - lacks this option, so I have to do it manually. But how?

cheers

Hi,

just use \addcontentsline or \addtocontents before the first sectioning commands to insert a line at the beginning of the toc.

quick and correct answer - as ever :)

For me, \addcontentsline works better than \addtocontents

thanks!
